My mother is "elderly". She has lived alone since my dad passed away 13 years ago. She is not in the best shape and needs help.
She has arthritis throughout her body and is pain. When my family eats dinner with her every night, she often looks at her hands, looks at how they have become mis-shapen and how they don't work like they used to anymore. And then she shows us and tells us.
I've thought of what tremendous things she has been able to accomplish with her hands......and after reading this, I won't ever see her hands without thinking of this story.
Thank you for sharing it. This is an early Christmas present.
